once again it is a new month...

at least this isn't the end of november. although, it may be the end of the month before i blog again. time is getting shorter for me somehow. i don't know exactly, but i feel as if i don't control it or have any say in my own schedule. yuck! anyways...so let's see.
halloween: zach and i got the insides of the pumpkin out and roasted the seeds. we thought about carving it, but didn't. oh well. then we started a movie, and i fell asleep. typical me. the time change was nice but i don't like that i drive to school in the dark. i really feel like we should all be grizzly bears and hibernate in the winter. i am excited to hopefully go snowboarding at least once. hopefully zach will come with me. i do like the snow better now that i have somewhat learned how to snowboard. i need to wax my board before i take it out. now the question becomes when do i have time, and money to do it.
zach and i also got my room painted. my roomie moved out and i switched rooms and painted my room. it looks really cool. i love it!
work this past week was absolutly crazy. my boss was gone all week helping the albertson's transition to family market. i really hate corporate. no one knew what they were supposed to do. none of the stores had any supplies, or the proper working technology. they asked on friday just before everyone left if there was any chance they could have the scanning coordinators stay another week. my boss said no. we had so many price changes and other things going on at my store. i was the one in charge since my boss was at albertsons. hopefully i didn't mess anything up. i don't like having to do 2 people's jobs. i'd rather just do my own. thankfully i had good help. i still got overtime and i know i may be in trouble for it. we are not allowed overtime. and corporate just told us that we can't afford to have a holiday open house and that no raises should be expected. lovely. what happened to "associated is doing fine" i think they bought all these albertsons and now are wondering if they should have really done that. oh well. i am just a worker. i just hope that this next week will be an easier going week and that they don't send so many price changes when they know we are a bit short handed.
um, let's see what else has happened....oh yeah. zach & i almost hit a deer with a big rack the other night. good thing zach was driving and paying attention. i guarantee that if i had been driving, we would have hit that deer. school is going fairly well. i am finally getting comfortable in my body mechanics. i gave 3 massages yesterday. i was completely dead after. not a good thing since i have to be able to do 5 in one day. one of them was zach. he says he could definitely tell a difference from when i first practiced on him and now. granted i did deep tissue work on him yesterday as opposed to more superficial work that i learned before. but that is what happens in advanced massage...you get to learn deep tissue work. i really like using my forearm and elbow. they are the easy ones to use. i need to learn how to use my knuckles and thumbs better. we shall see if zach still wants to be my practice dummy when i get those down better. he already said yesterday he couldn't believe that his muscles felt as if he really had gone to the gym & worked out. i told him drink more water :)
actually massage really is a work out for the client's body. esp deeper tissue work. i just hope he doesn't hate me today for being sore and having to work. anyways, i'd better get cooking on some kind of dinner/lunch food before i go pick zach up from work. have a great week everyone! and if i don't get the opportunity to post before november is up: HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
